to want to cry on hearing my neighbour is going to get another cat..

[Justonemorecardi]

My neighbour had two cats until the summer when they moved out for 3 months while their house was renovated. They came back daily to feed them but one went missing in the trauma of it all and never came back.

The other cat comes for its daily poo in my garden and I've been out gardening this weekend and there is a whole winters worth of poo in my borders and under our kitchen staircase (external spiral thing with plants underneath) - its disgusting.

Last year I told her what was happening and she just listened but said she didn't know what to do about it and her husband just stood their pretending to vomit.

I've just heard they're planning to buy another cat to replace the missing one - I want to cry. Why can't they train the cats to go in a litter tray? Surely if you live in a city its obvious it has to poo in someone's garden, so its antisocial and selfish to not train it?

Shitehawke you are just one big goady fuck.

People should just probably ignore you as obviously that isnt true now is it.

Go home, Shite. You're drunk.

Shitehawk's just one up on the Aussie would be-cop who posted on MN wanting to door cyclists.

Just.

Wanker.

My ex neighbour had just one cat for about 15 years; then suddenly, out of nowhere, another.. and another... and then a pregnant one that had 5 kittens (all of which she kept)... then started feeding feral cats... You get the picture.

I had to give up my veggie patch (despite being broke and really needing to grow my own) because it was full of cat shit the minute I dug it over.

We could only grow food in one of them little tent-y greenhousy things.

Last year she moved out suddenly (bedroom tax, I hear), leaving behind about 20 cats - mainly feral but her original 18 year old cat, and a house cat amongst them. We adopted the house cat (after we found it crying behind her freezer in the outhouse) and another neighbour feeds the 18 year old and another. The ferals fecked off.

Mind you the new neighbour is a woman who works all day leaving at home her unemployed husband who screams abuse at the kids cos he can't cope, and swears at us and anyone else - so I'm now wishing the mad cat lady would come back. At least she was pleasant and her every other word wasn't 'fuck'.

If I lived next door to Shitehawk I would be popping over the fence for a sneaky crap myself.

Uh huh. If you could navigate the snares and gin traps.

How do your DC navigate the snares and gin traps Shite? Sounds a bit dangerous. In fact more dangerous than cat poo.

When they only exist in a warped mind they are largely harmless

Ok people that are moaning about cats pooing in their gardens please can you tell us cat owners how to stop them going where they want to to take a crap. Tell us and I'm sure we will do it! Some cats just will not use a litter tray.

You could use one of THESE and keep the cat in it all the time....

You are an ideal candidate

AHEM!

Can we remind you of our talk guidelines please?

Grinch and Shite you may have noticed some of your odious posts have been deleted. I'm happy to own up to having reported them. However you don't give up do you? You're doing the OP no favours.

Grinch I'm assuming statistically it's likely you are a grown up woman. I have difficulty in comprehending how a grown up can find the "pet carrier" link amusing; or how one would even find it.

I'm afraid that says far more about you than it does me!!

I imagine the Google search was a "clear internet history" job.

LOL, quite innocently typed "Cat Carrier Spike" into Google & it's the first image!

I've seen it before so knew what I was looking for....

gawd only knows what Caitlin would think of This Book

Keep them inside. Or that little piece of logic beyond cat lovers?

Keep the humans inside-the cat poo won't bother them then. Not that I have ever seen any.

You can't keep a cat inside all the time that's just cruel. Wood you keep a dog inside without walking them?

1. Yes you can
2. No it's not
3. No, I why would I?

You've asked about cats and their shitting habits.Nomorepeppapig

I've had a few of them. It's never been my experience that they don't go in a litter. After all, they don't shit in my house, do yours do that in your house?

Maybe you're not cleaning the litter tray out enough.

Scooping shit out once a day works for me and my cat.

Maybe you're too lazy and your cat is disgusted with you.

It's pretty cruel to keep a cat inside forever. It just is. It's one of those problems that I've literally never heard discussed outside of MN insanity.

It just isn't.

Though if my indoor cat hadn't been an indoor cat for 11 years before I adopted him I'd probably let him out.

Actually, no I wouldn't.

I wouldn't have got a cat at all because the roads here are too dangerous.

So it was it was either I took him or he got destroyed when his owner died.

As I said to someone earlier, he seems like a happy little soul. In fact he's snoring away next to me.

I'm sure he's perfectly happy. If it's a choice between cats getting injured or killed and staying in then obviously I'd choose the latter. But to keep a cat in just to appease some of the odder posters on these types of thread? No.
